2. How does the slope of the line relate to the coefficient of friction?
3. Looking at your graphs, what are TWO reasons why some of your points might not have all
been exactly on the line of best fit?
4. Think about the surfaces that you had in contact. In general, how did the coefficient of
friction relate to the types of surface you used?
5. What happened to the force of friction when you increased the weight on the block?
6. What happened to the coefficient of friction when you increased the weight on the block?
7. Give at least two ways you could reduce the amount of friction in a system.
8.The force required to slide a parked car (brakes locked) of mass 1000 kg is 8000 N. What is
the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road?
